Weekly Report from Boulder
Favorite window sign of the last week: 'Someone smarter for president.'

Favorite Olympic moment of the last week: Wednesday when the USA took gold, silver, and bronze medals in the cycling time trials. Not that the network coverage clued you in, one swimming heat lasted longer than the entire look at the brutal time trial, won by Boulder/Spain based Tyler Hamilton and a bronze to Glenwood Springs based Bobby Julich. Absolutely no network coverage at all was given to the women's race where Boulder's own Dede Demet-Barry won silver. It's been twenty years since Boulder had such a strong Olympic showing when husband and wife Connie Carpenter and Davis Phinney medalled. Meanwhile I am struggling through my Olympic based sleep deprivation this week as I like all the other weird sports which show up on local coverage at about 11:30 at night.

The weekend did get me away from the TV when I went to a wedding up near Rocky Mountain National Park on Saturday evening. Lots of old friends were there and you know how fun it is to see everyone all dressed up.

Sunday evening Los Lobos played at Boulder's Chautauqua Auditorium and as ever, they put on a great show in celebration of their 30 years together. Catfish Jack opened the show and I enjoyed his high energy and delivery.
